How can we help children to relate to the Earth in a sacred way, and maybe you or another of the guides can answer this.
Hilarion: We have been waiting for this one. There is a being who has made her presence known before this meeting with her beautiful loving eye. She raises her eyebrow to you and questions you by her look. Let this come deep into your being. [Pause]
Amaneus: I am Amaneus. Amaneus. Reaching to you, to love you, to find you, to be with you. This place gives you the opportunity to feel, to receive Earth's love. This being receives your light. This being receives your care. Earth as a being transcends your capacity to understand, but she is that which you feel. Feel her now. Feel her under your feet. Feel her in the air around you. For the atmosphere is the Earth's subtle body. You walk within her, you know within her. You are her. You are made of Earth stuff. She is a part of who you always are, who you will be, as long as you are in a body, as long as you come to know of Earth stuff.
Reflect on this. Think on it. Then, set it aside, and ask yourself, "What have I done to balance this? With all that Earth has given me, what have I to give to her? What balances this so that I feel good about it?" In a child's heart, this question will have obvious answers. An adult heart will receive this and contemplate it and figure it out and reason about it. That is alright as far as it goes.
But feel the child self's answer. A dance, to receive and love Earth's loving clearing connecting energy with the moon, with the sun, with the stars, with the waters in my body. An offering to Earth. A willingness to feel what we share together. A bringing of something to heal and help her. Many answers may come to the child's heart within you. The reasoning mind may shut them down or push them away. But still, if you open to them, there are other answers, deeper ones, child answers.
To ask a child to find an answer is better than to project a doing. To let the child teach you, to honor the child's wisdom is better than to suggest a way. For have the ways that adults have created on your planet been of much help? Certainly there are ways in which some recovery, some benefits are happening with some of the plants, some of the animals. But most of what the child sees when he or she looks through the eyes of the Earth-this is sadness, this is shame, this is energy that is somehow contracting. That is not the answer to the question. It is instead the answer the adults have created, the answer that your society has created. Certainly it is not all adults, all children, always. But all of you are Earth, a part of her being, living with her, using her resources, making them a part of your bodies. So it is from that answer that the child speaks. If such can be somehow brought out and used, more can be known. [Pause]
Yes. Hilarion has asked me to relate a tiny bit of who I am, where I come from, what I have known. Part of my life was lived in acknowledgement of other places, your planet Venus in particular. The way in which your solar system moves through changes, how Mars's energies and resources were depleted by those who lived on her, how the asteroid belt came to be from the destruction of the planet it was before, from the people living there.
And so I am here to help everyone, especially the children but everyone, to receive and feel, to connect to Earth. Let it be a question that comes to you, and let Earth answer.
